This paper discusses issues relating to the role of ecotourism guides and considers the relative roles of ecotourism in developed and developing countries. The results of a pilot project are briefly described.
The project was designed to establish a register of ecologists and conservationists able to act as paid, part - time ecotourism guides in central southern England and to promote and trial a guide service
during the summer of 1999. The results demonstrated the availability of suitable guides but do not suggest that such guides have a significant new role to play at present in this region.
